# Threefold RFS

## Description

`Threefold RFS` is a frontend that helps manage the RFS server for creating, mounting, and extracting FungiStore lists, or fl for short. An fl is a simple format that stores information about a whole filesystem in a compact way. It doesn't hold the actual data but includes enough details to retrieve the data from a store.
